for the community, by the community
The model for The Next Cast Youth Fishing Program was to include both local youth and local businesses which together provided an outlet to give these children an opportunity to learn. This new skill provides them with a brief escape from everyday life. Studies have shown that fishing and the outdoors have been recognized as a benefit when it comes to creating a more positive, stress free environment for children. Some show improved life experiences in cases where ADHD / ADD and other mental health challenges have created obstacles.
With the support of the following businesses we were able to secure a teaching venue, create a curriculum, teach in a classroom environment for 6 weeks, provide the knowledge and tools for each child to practice the sport.
All at no cost to them or their parents/guardians.
When we think "community," we think of an area we may live in but based on the true meaning of the word community we find a broader explanation which suits the structure of this program and the support it receives.
: a unified body of individuals
: a group of people with a common characteristic or interest living together within a larger society
: a body of persons of common and especially professional interests scattered through a larger society
We as anglers have our own community and with the likes of this program we are enriching and building what we are passionate about.

2017 - 2023 program rod & reel supplier
We can't say enough about SHIMANO Canada Ltd. for supplying the rods and reels since the beginning to these kids who have an interest but not necessarily the means to immerse themselves in this amazing activity.
This message from Shimano says it all and matches perfectly to the programs thoughts, goals and opinions of fishing.
"Some people say that fishing is a sport, while others say it is a pastime. Still others say it is a science, while others say it is a means to instill themselves deep in the bosom of mother Nature. The presence of so many views indicates that fishing has deep meaning that allows various interpretations. No matter how you define fishing, it enriches anglers’ daily lives and makes them happy."
The fish make me happy. What more would anyone want.
